a QUAKER Guy physician mas invented
a method of carrying refreshments that
is likely to become popular in prohibi-
tion states. His invention is a little cup
sule of rubber, looking much like grape
which is filed with wine or liquor, and
distended until it assumes the form and
semblance of a large apd juicy fruit.
These grapes are filed with a variety of
lbibulants, old rye whisky, Holland gin,
handy, port, sherry, or cordials- to the
extent of about pony glass full. The
thin rubber breaks as easily as a grape
skin between the teeth, and no one would
think they were not real grapes.
THE well-known and reliable statisti-
clan, Edward Atkinson, has answered
certain questions put by Senator George,
of Mississippi, on the subject of capital
and labor, with some very interesting and
significant figures He shows, for in
stance, that the present average yearly
rate of wages in this country is 1920 in
gold, against $468 in gold in 1860; and
that a years earnings will now buy 2,4OO
daily portions of the necessaries of life,
whereas a years earnings in 1860 would
purchase only 1,527 portions. 1t is i'm
possible to doubt, in the face of these
statistics, that the workingmen of the
United States are doing infinitely better
l. ha xUh n
other countries the condition of the la
boring classes is worse in every respest
than it was at that time.
A WE'LL that for forty years has furn-
1shed water for a large community of

An ounce of discretion is better than
pound of knowledge. Why not spend
twenty-five cents for a bottle of Red
Star Cough Care, and save a large doc
tors bill?

A single fact is worth ship load of
argument. This may well be applied to
st. Jacobs Oil, which is more eficacious
than all other liniments. Mr. John Gregg,
a we'll known citizen of WatsonVille, Cal
ifornia, found it to be indispensable as a
cure for rheumatism. Price, fifty cents.

THE sTOCK-YARDS FIRE.

Another Blaze In the Chicago Yards-COn-
ditlon of the Injured Firemen.
CHICAGO, June &7.-Of the fremen in
iured at yesterdays blaze at the stock
yards one died during the night and four
more are in a precariOus condition, being
injured internally and having limbs broken.
At one o'clock this morning the flames
broke out afresh about the chill rooms of
what is known as the 'hutch" house.
Under the South chill rooms two million
pounds of prime pork were picking in the
vat. The contents of the chill room and
vat are valued at from $500, 600 to $3.50, =
900. A shaky wall was all that separated
this from the flames and the firemen had
to work harder than any time during the
progress of the fire to prevent their spread.
At three o'clock the entire district was
still in lurid glare, but the danger OF the
north wall falling was passed. Ten streams
are directed at the burning mass. 1t will
require constant work for fOrty-eight hours
to thoroughly extinguish the smoldering
pork. The firemen are being relieved by
reserves.

the institution, a director, resigned when

the arch-criminals are Republicans, and
President HARPER was the man who
threatened his employees with discharge il
they voted for CLEVELAND and that he
would go out of business if Mr.. CLEyE-
LAND was elected, which promise he

HOLM scores Mr.. SHERMAN for silly talk
that is much worse in its effects than

But the old man will prate. There is
a suspicion that he is getting childish on
the subject of politics.

LONDON, June 27.-Mr. Charles Mar
vim, author of that striking work The
Russians at the Gates Of Herat," and the
best Informed man in England in regard to
Russian affairs, has never ceased, since the
publication of his great work two years
ago, to direct the attention Of the thought
fol TO the dangers threatening Great
Britain's Empire in the East. He has
been o Cassandra uttering doleful prophe-
cies, which fell upon dull ears, and even
aroused resentment, hut which IL present
indications are to be trusted, are now being
fulfilled.
Mr.. Marvin, in an article just published
reviews his warnings and shows how every
step taken by Russia in pushing her en-
pire eastward has been realization Of his
prediction. Russia stands to-day AZ Eng
lands northern neighbor along q poorly
protected boundary line of twelve hundred
miles, which as the nurse in THE Pirates"
sings, "Wouldn't ha' been" il the policy
suggested by Mr.. Marvin had been adopt
ed. Russia could have easily been
checked by any one Of dozen counter
movements on England's part few years
ago, which are now difficult il not i'm
practicable.
An openly aggressive policy, in Mr.. Mar
WINS opinion, has now begun. What this
means to the British Empire is perhaps
best appreciated by those who are familiar
with the attitude of Lord Dufferin, Viceroy
of India. This most able OF English dip.
lomats has frequently appealed TO the
Home Government TO avert the disaster
which he has seen approaching. IL is TO
be feared that while Lord Salisbury IL yet
struggling with the doubtful task Of forc-
ing coercion upon Ireland the brightest
jewel in the crown of England will have
been placed in irremediable danger by his
absolute disregard Of foreign complications.
The vast shipments just announced Of
arms and ammunition eastward from the
Caspian over the long stretch Of Russian
railroad through Turkestan and Merv have,
however, proved alarming enough 10 at
last open the eyes Of that large class Of
Britishers who never believe anything un-
til they see il. Heretofore most OF Russia's
movements in connection with her enor-
nous requirements Of territory north OF
India have been conducted in secret. Only
those who, like Marvin, have made spe-
cial study of Russian methods have been
vigilant enough TO detect these concealed
steps toward aggrandizement, and to fully
appreciate their dangerous Significance
The open shipment on large scale Of mu-
nitions of war now indicates that the Cars
government considers its new conquests 10
firmly established that concealment Of its
moYements Is no LONGER necessary.

A Weak Denial From the Senator.

MANSFIELD, O., June 27.-A Cincinnati
paper Of to-day noted a dispatch as having
appeared in the New York Tribune Satur-
day as a special from Canton, Ohio, in
which Senator Sherman is made to say
that the Fidelity Bank was originally de-
signed as a Democratic institution, which
was to be benefited vastly by its selection
as United States depository" and that
Sherman considers the recent business
troubles in Ohio as possible forerunners of
financial depression, for which he blames
the inefficiency of the Cleveland Admins
tration."
To the press tonight, after having been
shown the dispatch, Mr. Sherman said
that the statement in the telegram was not
correct; that he did not say that the Fidel-
ity National Bank was Democratic insti-
tuition, or that it was organized as such.
But he did say that, as he understood from
the papers it was made Government de-
positOry bank, with considerable amount
of Government deposits, he thought it was
bad policy ever to make a new bank q
Government depository.
II did not undertake to state the effect
of the failure, but said that often from
such unexpected financial events panics
sprang but that he saw nothing in the
condition of the country that need create
alarm.
Mr.. Sherman also said that the Cincin-
natl paper quoted is greatly mistaken in
supposing that the Democratic party is not
responsible for the accumulation of money
in the Treasury, for no power in the Gov
eminent could propose any mode reducing
the revenue except the House of Represen-
tatives, which, unfortunately, is Demo-
cratic

settlers on the Maxwell Land Grant Called
Upon to Shoulder Arins.


Upon to Shoulder ArIns.
RATION. N. NJ, June 2.-There is
trouble among the settlers on the Maxwell
land grant, in the northern part of the
Territory, and the bitter feeling toward its
claimants is growing stronger daily.
Threats are heard on every hand and
several rows have occurred.
Following is a copy of call which has
been issued for meeting at this place Au-
gust /:
SHOULDER ARMSi FORWARD MARCH!
SETTLERs:-Thes sO-called Maxwell grant
is public domain. 1t was thrown open to
settlement and entry as public land In
1874 by the final and authoritative Judg-
ment Of the Secretary Of the Interior. For
several years it has been treated with con-
tempt by spectators and corrupt officials,
but it has never been reversed.
Commissioner Williamson, after the Sec
retary had pronounced the judgment of the
Land Department final, could not reverse
that Judgment. The Supreme Court. did
not dare say in its printed decision,
although the matter was brought to Its
attention, that Commissioner Williamson
could arbitrarily reverse the first decision
of the Secretary of the Interior. The nine
Supreme Court corruptionists lodged this
point in the interest Of the public land
thieves.
In pretending to arbitrarily reverse the
final and vested judgment Of the Secretary
of the Interior, Commissioner Williamson
committed an infamous crime in the in
terest of three high-tOned public land
thieves.
Settlers, you are now asked to submit to
this outrageous crime. Don't you do 1T.
Only contemplate towards will tamely
submit to be kicked off from public land
as trespa sers by an official gang of public
land thieves.
Settlers, you are not towards. You
obeyed our summons once; obey it again.
Come to Ration in force by the first day of
next August, and if we cannot, in mass
meeting assembled, without a rumpus, get
the attention of the nation to the crime COM
mitted by Williamson in arbitrarily sur
yeying public land in the Maxwell grant,
then by all means let us have rumpus.
Signed
